Abstract

Objective- The aim of this study was to obtain first time diagnosis of pregnancy and study of fetal development in different times of pregnancy period. Design- ِDescriptive study. Animals- 8 pregnant Markhoz goats. Procedure- 2D ultrasound was performed from day 25 to 130 of gestation, twice in week from day 25 to 70 and once in week from day 70 to 130 of gestation on eight goats. The ultrasonographic images were obtained Sonosite Titan (USA) 2D ultrasound machine. Results- On the 25th day of gestation, earliest diagnosis of pregnancy was done. On 37th day, clear pictures of conceptus, amniotic membrane, and umbilicus were seen. On 78th day of gestation, internal organs of fetus heart, kidney, liver, urinary bladder, and stomach was seen in image. The scrotum in the male fetus was identified on the 88th day of gestation. Between 115 and 130 days of gestation complete details of internal organs were seen in ultrasonographic images. Conclusions- The accuracy of ultrasound was 100% for detecting pregnant and non-pregnant cases. Conceptus changed its shape from 25 to 44 days of gestation, and full identifiable conceptus took its shape on day 44. Keywords- Markhoz goat, Pregnancy, Ultrasound.
